Frame-relay Switches.. In series

lildeezul

Ok i know how to configures a cisco router as a frame-relay switch.

ex: frame-relay router 102 interface s0 201


but the problem is my frame-relay switch has only a limitied amount of ports.
how would i configure a second frame relay switch to work in series with my first switch.


for example.


R1 (102)

---

FR1 (s0)

---

(s0) FR2 (s1)

---

(201) R2

without the second frame-relay switch the config would like the following.

fr1- Frame-relay route 102 int s0 201

But how would i configure the Second frame relay switch.

Would it be:
fr2 - Frame-relay route 102 int serial 1 201

if so, how would the connectiong bewteen Fr1 (s0) and Fr2 (s0) be configured.
would that be encapusalted as frame-relay or HDLC ???

thanks in advance

thanks.. so basically between the two frame-relay routers' interface, i will have to issue the no keepalive command.


what about the route statement for the second frame switch
